Whether your cleansing routine involves one, two, or three steps, a cleansing oil should probably be a part of it. Generally used as the first cleansing step (and skincare step as a whole), these face cleansers not only remove makeup and grime, but they also have added skincare benefits.
“Cleansing oils or washes that have an oil base are very helpful for not only cleansing, but they can nicely cleanse the skin while not over drying or stripping the skin,” says New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Anthony Rossi.
